High Plains Organic Conference

- This event has passed.
February 11 – February 12
FREE
Since the High Plains region focuses on Grains and Cattle, we will host two sessions. The event kicks off with a *Buyer’s Showcase*. During this session, buyers of certified organic crops will describe the 2025 market opportunities for growers. It is followed by a panel discussion on marketing opportunities for a full rotation of crops, ranging from cereals to oil seeds and millets to pulse crops.
Day two will have a presentation and discussion on the *Organic Meat Marketplace* on day two. While overall US beef sales grew by 9.2% in 2024, Organic Beef Sales grew by 25%. What are the opportunities for US-grown organic beef, and what do processors need to do to meet that demand? This session will provide practical insights and strategies for processors to compete in the organic marketplace.
